New server is up.
Done:
Install RedHat 7.2
Download errata and install (Download time 12h 30m at 21.3 Kbytes/sec)
Configure sudoers
Configure ntpd
chkconfig gpm off
Start httpd and edit config so I can read docs
To do:
Configure iptables
Unconfigure ipchains
Test masq routing
It will probably be at least a week or two until I can start moving services from the old server to the new.
So, uh, RedHat 8.0 is out =)
I have a copy if you want to borrow it and not have to download.
Thanks! I will probably stick with 7.2 for now… Most of our work machines are still on 7.1 and I just sort of got in the habit of not going with the latest-greatest if I don’t need the new features. So far it seems to work OK, usually when I have a problem there is a patch already available, or at least some bulletin board where someone else posted the same problem.
I really should check out 8.0 though, so I can install it about the time 8.3 or 8.5 comes out :) Have you used it and do you like it?
